Winnie Harlow was Fall-perfect at the #SheInspiresMe Friendship Bracelet Launch in a $227 Gestuz Charlie Blazer and $69 Public Desire Deborah Over The Knee Boots:
Her shiny, burgundy velour blazer features long sleeves, a round-stitched hem, and tie cord at the waist.
Hot!
Get Winnie’s blazer for a splurge here.

Kendall Jenner was spotted at Cadogan Hall across the pond in a $158 Solace London Lin Ultramarine Top:
Her long sleeve top features an exposed back, elongated front hem, and is crafted from a bonded, textured woven fabric.
Simple and chic no?

How about a little black dress to kick off your weekend?
One we’re loving is Michael Maven’s draped black dress with ruching, as worn by Instagram star Micah Giannelli:
The body conscious dress has an extremely low neckline with ruching on the mid-section and a wrap-dress detail.
Wear it as is, or slip on a blinged out necklace and a lacy corset to amp it up.
Love it!
Purchase here.

And, we’re back with another installment of our Look of the Week feature! The style musings from the past few days have been quite inspiring. From the eclectic mixing of prints to contemporary eye-catchers, our slew of celeb favorites makes this week’s decision a toughie.
Ready?
1) Janelle Monae in Emanuel Ungaro
Black and white enthusiast Janelle Monae was on-hand for Paris Fashion Week as she slayed in an Emanuel Ungaro two-piece polka dot wonder. Miss Monae also donned a pair of Nicholas Kirkwood sandals and a Kotur clutch. And, can we get into this cape?!
2) Ciara in Tom Ford
It’s clear that celebs love Tom Ford. This week, Ciara shut it down (via Instagram) in a Tom Ford Fall 2015 cutout dress. Her ‘fit features red, blue, green and yellow detailing, and a sleek silhouette. Yes!
3) Zendaya in Kenzo
The ever-stylish Zendaya Coleman also hit the streets at Paris Fashion Week! The young starlet made a fashionable statement as she rocked a printed coat, an accented print top and printed trousers – all by Kenzo. She also debuted a new ‘do while uplifting a dark lip. I’m here for it!
4) Marjorie Harvey in Giambattista Valli
This next contender doesn’t need an introduction. She’s been a continuous fixture in our weekly feature and she’s still slaying! The Lady Loves Couture blogger Marjorie Harvey cuddled up with her hubby in a two-toned Giambattista Valli creation. Her dress boasts floral detailing and tons of sophistication.
6) Angela Bassett in Theia Couture
Queen Angela Bassett flaunted her enviable bod as she graced the red carpet for the LA screening of American Horror Story: Hotel. The actress was perfection personified in a Theia vegan leather cocktail dress. Her one-shoulder stunner also features a crepe skirt, an open back and a leather bodice. How gorg is she?!
Well, that’s all folks! Who gets your vote this week?

It’s Friday!
So we have a Fashion Bomber. Tell us what you think of Chico from Atlanta:
He writes, “My style is for the most part chic and high fashion.”
” Sometimes I like to be extremely edgy but at the same time I’m still giving you high fashion.”
” I can give you glam with a clean face, t-shirt and a fresh pair of sneakers as well as with a BEAT face a fur and some knee high boots!!”
Hot! Hand over those thigh high boots!
See more on the ‘Gram @iamcchico.

It’s Friday, and it’s been a while since we’ve had Mail Bombs!
We have a handful of wardrobe queries in our quiver.
Take a look!
Styles by Vonsha types, “I would love to know where to get this shirt from I searched high and low!”
“Thanks in advance.”
Emily B threw a fur stole over a $240 McQ by Alexander McQueen top.
The form fitting top has mesh panels and a back yoke. Purchase at Shopbop.com or Saks.
Next, Felicia wrote, “Can you please tell me where to find or the designer of this super cute shirt dress worn by Tahiry at the Amber Rose SlutWalk on Saturday October 3,2015?”
Tahiry supported Amber’s movement in Schutz boots and a $79 Truly, Madly, Deeply Henley top, worn as a dress:
I recognized it because Karrueche Tran wore it last year as a shirt.
Sadly, the piece is sold out. Get a similar look here.
And Halima types, “It’s been sometime since I’ve reached out for help from the experts!”
“Can you please help me in identifying this cell phone accessory worn by Tracee Ellis Ross.”
I did a bit of research, and found that the brand Bandolier makes cool phone cases with studded straps:
It seems the company is low on cases with gold studded straps, but you can get a case with silver studs for $95 here.
Lastly, in an Unsolved Mail Bombs, Steph says, “ I just stumbled upon a picture on Gisele’s instagram and would be so grateful if you could tell me where did she get that amazing sweater! The picture’s old but so appropriate for the months to come ;)”
Since the picture is over 6 months old, I’m going to assume the sweater is no longer available! And sadly, I wasn’t able to find anything similar.
But if you guys know, please leave a comment!
I’m off to prep today’s Bomber and Bombshell, then begin my weekend.
Have fab ones!
Smootches!
So we’ve been having lots of contests, and now it’s time to announce the winners!
A few weeks ago, we offered to give away an Aviary Clutch from Fab.com.
And the beautiful Schuyler from Virginia was randomly chosen to receive the bag!
She wrote, “Wow, wow, thank you Claire! You just made my day! I rarely ever win a contest and I’m super happy that I got picked! I read your site FAITHFULLY every day to get inspiration from all the latest trends. There’s no other site out there like yours. I hope I can meet you at your Cocktails with Claire in DC soon and show you my new bag!”
See you then!
And as you know, we offered one lucky reader a Gift Certificate to Fashion Nova, provided they commented on the post, and also commented elsewhere on the site. 18 comments later, and Stephon from Charlotte, North Carolina was chosen as the winner!
In one of his comments, he wrote, “I order from fashion nova every time I get paid,” and in another, he wrote, “PICK ME plz. 🙂 I would definitely get the trophy wife bodysuit. I would also get the super high waisted jeans in white. The zoe jumpsuit and much more. PLEASE PICK ME. 🙂 <3″
You’ve been picked!
I love giveaways because I love spreading the love! Stay tuned for more fun contests in the upcoming weeks.
Smootches!
